Another option is to use a usb web cam for mic in... Just don't use the cam part.

As the Wolfson card is to expensive for just a mic in and I also don't want to loose the IO Pins, I think I will need to buy such a USB sound cars with mic in. Can you recomment any good ones? And is it possible to create a Video with the Audio included then?

Thx, but as I still have the cam, a webcam with mic only for using the mic is not the best solution in my opinion. But of course still a option.

The cheap usb sound cards are quite plausible. The audio is OK unless you have a very specific high quality solutionin mind then in that instance you will be telling me which card you would like to use

I think something more durable would be better.

You might want to use a piece of thin plastic often found as the clear cover on bound folders, and use the double sided foam to stick it to the USB.

Obviously its not going to work for PiFace Digital, but will for the others.

There are stick-on rubber feet similar to the one on the chipkit pi thst are good for this. Or, a dab of hot glue.

One way to make the add-on boards compatible is to use a stacking connector like here which lifts the 26 way connector off the PCB.
Also, all the Custard Pi add-on boards fit on the 40 pin connector without touching anything else. See here for more photos.
